That being said, let me introduce to you FRENCH TOAST BAKE aka. the most wonderful and easy way to make french toast! 🙂 This stuff is fabulous, my friends. The flavor and texture are just perfect. Think of it as french toast and cinnamon rolls combined into one amazing breakfast cake!

I love that it can be prepped the night before, so all you do is pop it in the oven when you’re ready for breakfast. Stress-free and yummy food is what I’m all about!

Grease a 9 x 13-inch baking pan with butter. Cut bread into cubes and then evenly distribute in the pan.

In a medium sized bowl mix together eggs, milk, cream, sugar, and vanilla. Pour evenly over the bread. Cover tightly and store in the fridge for several hours or overnight.

In a separate bowl, mix flour, brown sugar, cinnamon, and salt. Add nutmeg if desired. Add butter pieces and cut them into the dry mixture until mixture resembles fine pebbles. Store in a Ziploc in the fridge.

When ready to bake the casserole, preheat oven to 350° F. Remove casserole from the fridge and sprinkle crumb mixture evenly over the top. Bake for 45 minutes for a softer, more bread pudding texture. Bake 1 hour or more for a firmer, less liquid texture.

Scoop out individual portions. Top with powdered and drizzle with maple syrup.

I made this for our family’s Christmas morning breakfast….I didn’t even serve it with the maple syrup since it was delicious and seemed perfectly complete without it. I baked it for 45 mins for a bread-pudding consistency and it was amazing! Thanks Holly!

Made christmas 2015 for my family. When I went to work, three other people made it, that day too. I did make extra liquid part because bread loaf was big, and glad I did. Another one I tasted was too dry. I also added a little more topping and it rocked.
